Hello my little monsters (see what i did there)
I wanted to do a blog post about a series that i am currently obsessed with! and so are many other people and thats ‘American horror story’.
I love the fact that each season of this series is a different story, you wouldn’t need to watch this series right from series one to understand it if you didnt want to, all the series have the same people in them just playing different characters in each one which i like.
American horror story murder house
Season 1 is basically about a couple (ben and vivien) having problems in their marriage and their daughter (violet) moving into a new house known as ‘the murder house’. I don’t want to go into too much detail as i dont want to leave any spoilers for those of you that havent watched it yet, but I’m going to do my best to explain a bit about each series. Anyways the family encounter the home’s former residents Constance and her two children Tate and Addie. Ben and Vivien are trying to rekindle their marriage as Ben had an affair with a student of his meanwhile violet (their daughter) is battling with depression, and finds comfort with Tate. the family eventually realise that the home is haunted by the ghosts of anyone that has ever died there.
I think this is my favourite season so far as i really love Violet and Tate’s relationship (even though its kind of messed up) i think they both play their characters extremely well!
Season 2 Asylum
As you probably guessed from the title this season takes place in a mental asylum (Briar cliff mental institution) the place is run by doctors and nuns, the wardens who run the institution include the lead sister Jude, Her protege sister Mary Eunice and the founder of the institution Monsignor Timothy Howard. Then you have phschiatrist Dr Oliver Thredson and Scientist Dr Arthur Arden. The patients claim to be unjustly institutionalised include lesbian journalist Lana Winters, Accused serial killer Kit Walker, Nymphomaniac shelley and alleged murderer Grace. The place has strange goings on and and is subject to supernatural and scientific influences, demonic possession and even alien abduction.
I found this season to be the most chilling just because mental institutions freak me out and i find them so creepy.
Season 3 Coven
Coven is all to do with Witches and its basically to do with the ones that survived the salem witch trial. An all girls boarding school opens to protect and house the young women that carry the blood line and keep them from the dangers of the outside world. The supreme and most powerful witch of her generation Fiona arrives to to ensure the safety of the Coven but also to fulfil her own hidden agenda. Fiona’s daughter Cordelia teaches at the school, theres a new arrival Zoe Benson who goes to the Coven after having an accident with her powers. Events reveal a rivalry between the witches of salem and the voodoo practitioners of New Orleans, as well as a historic grudge between voodoo queen Marie Laveau and a serial killer Delphine Lalaurie. This season is all about Witchcraft, voodoo, racism and death.
AHS cast Jessica Land, Kathy Bates, Sarah Poulson, Angelea Bassett and exec producers Brad Fulchuck and Ryan Murphy (in cap). Phortographed on the set of season 3 ‘Coven’ in New Orleans 9/29/13
Emma Roberts is in this season and she plays the bad ass bitch character really well and i didn’t imagine her being in a programme like this but she does it so well.
Season 4 Freak Show
I was worried about watching this season as i’m one of those people that don’t like clowns and the clown in this is pretty bloody scary. Anyways this story is about a freakshow led by Elsa Mars, she dreams of finding homes for her “monsters” as well as her own fame. Conjoined twins Bett and Dot are taken to hospital Elsa sees the opportunity to get some more business for her freak show and convinces them to join her. Members of the freak show include Jimmy a boy born with lobster like hands, Jimmy’s mother the bearded lady, a troubled man Dell and his three breasted wife Desiree. They all have to battle with people making fun of them and persecute them based on their looks.
I was very surprised to see the guy that plays Barney off how i met your mother appear near the end of this season but like Emma Roberts he plays his role so well.
There is another series thats currently on Tv and thats season 5 Hotel which has Lady Gaga in it!!! I’m dying to watch this season but because i haven’t yet i thought i wouldn’t speak about it as i don’t know what the stories about and all that jazz.
I hope i’ve done a good job at giving you a bit of an insight to what this shows all about I’m so glad i started watching it as it really is an awesome series and nothing like i imagined it would be. I highly recommend you giving it a watch especially if like me you love horrors, Plus Evan Peter’s is sooooooo gorgeous *drooling*.
